Automation Ideas (No-Code)
1. Button Automations (Notion 2025+)
Button: "Mark as Published"
→ Update Status = Published
→ Set Publish Date = Today
→ Add to "Published Archive" view
Button: "Send to Client for Review"
→ Update Status = In Review
→ Create new page in client’s Notion (if synced)
→ Add reminder for follow-up in 48h
2. Powerful Formulas
// Days Until Publish
dateBetween(prop("Publish Date"), now(), "days")
// Revenue This Month
if(month(now()) == month(prop("Due Date")), prop("Amount"), 0)
3. Database Templates
